Many of us succumbed either to these pleasures or to the dope of the priests. |: who told us to await the kingdom of heaven. After the October revolution of 1917, ‘we began to lead quite a different life. It is true that at first, harassed: by the white guards who were aided by your bourgeoisie, we experienced great hardships. We starved while our transport was in.a state of chaos. Our factories were at a standstill and most of us fought at the front. Our own factory, which employs 4,000 peo- ple, had hardly 400 at that time, and any kind of production was out of the question. As you know, we have ‘smashed the white guards and attack- ed a new front, the front of useful toil, and here, comrades, we have won one victory after another. To quote an example: In the year 1913-14, our record year of production, we turned out on the average 102,300 poods of wire in a month, working 24 hours a day. Now, we work in two shifts of eight hours, that is only 16 hours a day, and we have already produced 102,170 poods, and in view of our con stant Increase and expansion ot pro duction, we may confidently expect. 2 much larger output when we start working 24 hours, 1. e., in three shifts. All this is done without any compul sion, but by our own geod will and ef. forts. I feel that to produce in eight hours upon an old bench the quantity that used to be turned out in 12 hours on a new one, is-quite a big victory, and you will surely share in our jubil ation. A roll-worker in our mill used te earn 70 to 75 roubles a month, now he earns from 130 to 150 roubles. You are told all manner of horrid tales about our Bolsheviks, which are nothing without our consent. Our Communists, our teachers, do nothing without our consent. We support then all the way thru and wg shall always follow their lead, because they protect our own and only our own interests. Not all are in the party, we do not think ourselves sufficiently developed, but in spirit we are all Communists. We now have our own club, with an _jendless variety of circles: dramatic, choral, musical, art, radio and sport. There are scores of members in eyery have nine football teams alone, where as in the past we had only five foot- ballers in the whole factory, and even those played in the bourgeois club. circle, but in the sporting circle we ; R 7 r * — the Act ot i a as AR: eee 4 $e . a ** . * ‘ar tte: o Ae Carols . „„ * * e N 1 N we 4 ** ye & * 1 a * * 8 * wen.

The ministers in Herrin were un animous in praising the murderer in their Sunday sermons. Rev. P. R. Glotfelty, of the first methodist church, praised Young in his sermon and declared he had died “a martyr’s death.” Glotfelty allowed the klan to use his church as an arsenal, and ap red as a witness at the coroner's inquest for Harry Herrin and other klansmen who last August attacked a group of deputy sheriffs and miners, and were beaten back after three of their number had been killed, Every protestant minister in town is known to be a member of the klan, and these men frequently incite the klansmen to race hatred at the klan meetings and picnics at which iy act as the speakers. | The ku klux klan of unos broug ing before courts under the syndica- list awe of other states.

(Continued on page 2) NEW YORK BUILDERS’ CORNER Conducted by KATTERFELD. ME of the requirements for the continuation of the regular New York edition is an immediate doubling of the news stand sale. The DAILY WORKER cannot meet the extra expense involved unless thie is done. Every reader is asked to heip in this task right now, during this week—Lenin Week. What better way is there to prove your loyalty to the cause for Whleh Lenin gave his life than to help increase the circulation of the DAILY WORKER, the voice which carries his message to the Amer- ican workers? It ig of course worth while to pledge our devotion in mighty mass meetings, where eloquent speakers arouse our emotions. But it is of still more Importance, and it is an even greater service to the cause of the working class, to the cause of Leninism, to do the neces- sary detail work which will result in placing the message of Lenin- ism on the news stands of greater New York where gradually it will win its way from day to day into the ranks of workers who until now have never heard it. ' Specificatiy we ask every reader to do the following: 1. Tell some one every day to buy the DAILY WORKER on the news stands. 2. See to it that the stands display it properly. 3. If stands have papers left in the evening, buy a copy or two for propaganda. ’ 4. If news stands are not yet handling the DAILY WORKER, take their order on the following blank.
